US President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke on Sunday and agreed to "continue working to secure release of all hostages," the White House said.
Netanyahu said on Sunday he told Biden that Israel will resume its campaign in Gaza with full force once a temporary truce comes to an end.
However, Netanyahu also said he would welcome extending the truce if it facilitated the release of ten additional hostages every day, as agreed under the original Qatari-brokered deal.
